Summary

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers in the world with major occurrences in eastern Asian countries such as China. HCC is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. There are multiple treatment options for liver cancer including surgery, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), liver transplantation, absolute ethanol injection, radiation therapy, and biological therapy. Surgery is the primary radical treatment measure for HCC, but its indication is narrow and is only suitable for certain group of patients. Another common treatment for liver cancer, TACE, can not only block tumor blood supply, control tumor growth, or even cause necrosis and result in tumor shrinkage, it can also deliver target chemotherapy drugs to the tumor tissue. However, there are still some controversies on the efficacy of TACE treatment. Therefore in this study, we will conduct a randomized comparison study of the efficacy of surgical resection and TILA-TACE treatment.

Conditions

  • Surgical Resection
  • HCC

Interventions

PROCEDURE

TILA-TACE

After femoral artery catheterization, 5-Fr angiography catheters will be used for complete radiography of the celiac artery, the hepatic artery proper, left and right hepatic arteries and their branches, and 2.8-Fr micro-catheters will be used for complete radiography of the tumor's nutrient arteries. Lipiodol-epirubicin emulsions and 5% sodium bicarbonate injection solutions will be used for perfusion of chemotherapy drugs. Different sizes of embolic microspheres will be used alternatively for chemoembolization.
